My Uncle in Iran passed away from corona virus. He was gentle and kind. He’d been battling cancer for several years. His family had to stand one hundred meters away and watch him be buried by men in hazmat gear. My Aunt is now sick. Please take this virus seriously.

When in doubt always try and visit a location, especially for action sequences. You never know what fun little detail will jump up in front of you yelling - use me, use me, I'm 200 words if I'm 5!

The drought in Central Europe has shrunk the rivers & exposed "hunger stones", where people of the past recorded droughts & the famines they caused.
One of the stones recently uncovered in the Elbe is carved with the words, "If you see me, weep."
